I have to agree with rudestuff above.

I looked at the person above's old posts and they finished their training with the MCC in 2011. They got one interview and admit they flunked it. They then got another job in a different area. I hardly think that means that there is no hope in the industry.
He then renewed his ratings just before the ATPL exams expired (7 years), but then Brexit and Covid hit. Bad timing I think everyone would agree.

It certainly doesn't show determination to get a job. rudestuff is right that people need to swing with the highs and lows in this industry. That should be a given. A large amount of cash (e.g. €30k) for a type rating with the likes of RYR may also be necessary. He also said before he refuses to pay for UPRT training - it's mandatory so no training = no job.
